FAM recently unveiled its new V-belt slicing machine, the Volantis. The machine is suited for the transverse slicing of a wide range of vegetables and can cut onions in slices or discs.
The machine can be fed manually or by a feeding system. The more than 2-meters-long infeed section contributes to a better orientation of the product and will align it to prevent it from tumbling while it is fed into the slicing wheel, according to the company.
The combination of the high speed of the knives and the unique cutting method is designed to produce uniform slices with a smooth surface while minimizing breakage and ragged ends, thus increasing the shelf-life of products.
